What makes it different from others?

Strong and Moving!

Sorry, this movie sucks

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Having used a 'Kevin clone' in Home Alone 3, this belated fourth instalment returns to having Kevin as the central focus, this time played by another actor. They also bring back the vast majority of his family, and Marv too, again all played by different actors.It sets the tone for the whole film really. It's Home Alone by numbers, with all the ingredients being there, but it not quite having the magic of the original, probably because we've seen it all done so much better before.The replacements aren't bad, they're game for all the slapstick antics that they're given, but tis is a pale imitation for the original.At least it's got its tongue firmly in cheek though, with a few little jokes about the ridiculousness of the situation, Kevin's age changing, and the best one from the Mum "how many times can I lose this kid".Decent enough, but watch the original.

Kevin McCallister's parents have split up. Now living with his mom, he decides to spend Christmas with his dad at the mansion of his father's rich girlfriend, Natalie. Meanwhile robber Marv Merchants, one of the villains from the first two movies, partners up with a new criminal named Vera to hit Natalie's mansion. So Home Alone 4? They actually made a 4th one without Macaulay Culkin as Kevin but let's review it and remember like i said in my summary this is a guilty pleasure the film is indeed pretty dumb and i know that and that is why i enjoyed it and let me start with the stuff i did liked which is the relationship between Kevin and his dad and also his mum this is kinda something that we see that is invested more in this sequel mostly with his dad tho because in Home Alone 1 & 2 he was closer to his mum, Erick Avari was also pretty good i enjoyed his performance and his scenes with Mike Weinberg who played Kevin he was a pretty cute kid at the time and i believe that was the purpose to put him play this role but as far as everything else goes the film does fall apart because i didn't like French Stewart as Marv he looked more like Harry to me and he was pretty over the top and he wasn't really that funny the same goes for Missi Pyle as Vera she was basically portraying some black stereotype woman she wasn't really that good. Jason Beghe and Clare Carey as Peter and Kate McCallister were good nothing more i would have enjoyed this film more if it was the 3rd one with Culkin and the original cast back it shows us characters with basically zero development that we don't care, the McCallisters broke up for some unknown reason and the gags feel recycled but besides all that i did enjoyed the film it was stupid, it should have never been made but i still liked it some of the actors were good, i laughed a couple of times and the dramatic scenes were kinda well played and i'm gonna give Home Alone 4 an 6.1 out of 10 it's a "great" Christmas Guilty Pleasure. The first time i saw it it was back in 2002 or 2004 i can't remember it was on VHS at that time and i enjoyed it more back then but now it doesn't live up to Nostalgia and it's really not a great film but it's watchable for what it is i still count the first 2 films only and they should have stopped there..

Are you guys crazy? On drugs? You joking? So your telling me you all hate this movie? Are you out of your mind? This movie is awesome. Hello? You kidding me right? Look I agree with all of you that home alone 1 and 2 is better. But home alone 3 and 4 is also good. So is home alone 5. Are you all crazy? I think you all need to re watch it. I really don't think this is so horrible. You joking? Are you crazy? Look home alone 4 is not horrible at all. Even though not that great, its still good. So if you never watched it, should you watch it? Oh yeah definitely. You don't have to like it, but its so worth watching. I would rather watch this movie 1 million times than getting a million dollars. I would even watch it way more that a million times if i could. Look I am not lying, its actually really good. Can't believe all you fools, that on the first page, that you all said it was bad.

I was never a huge fan of the first "Home Alone" movie, and for that matter the second and third entries. But each of them was like a Broadway play compared to this fourth entry. This entry is a bad high school play in comparison. It goes wrong in just about every way you can think of. Being made for television, it looks really cheap and undernourished, save for the part of the movie involving a cascade of water (they must have blown most of the budget on that scene alone.) The people that are cast in the roles of Kevin and his family (as well as Marv) have none of the spark of the original actors. But the worst thing about the movie is how dull it is. There is very little of the character of Kevin taking charge, acting smart, and inflicting mischief. It's mostly boring talk. I think even kids will find this sequel a shabby excuse, and I can only imagine what their smarter and experienced parents will think of it.
